Part 3. Details of the Nom-de-guerre Strategy | |
All financial and reporting requirements of registration will, of course, be strictly followed by the Progressive Canadian Party. The Progressive Conservative Party will only engage in those political activities which are not regulated by the Canada Elections Act. | |
…”We’re not talking about two different parties. And certainly not a name change.” explained Gullon. “We will remain one party, but with a second name, a registered “nom-de-guerre”, to contest elections.” |
|
Gullon emphasized that, | |
“Members will never join only the nom-de-guerre party. They will continue to sign on with ‘the Party of Sir John A’ while also being listed as members of our registered nom-de-guerre party. The actions and policies of the registered party will thus be completely controlled by the Progressive Conservative membership. |
|
In short, the 'nom-de-guerre' strategy neither changes the party name nor hides behind another name. Our candidates will speak openly as Progressive Conservatives but their closing remarks, and all literature, will ask Canadians: | |
“If you like our policies, mark your ballot for the ‘PC Party’." |
